A fascinating crossover has emerged between a Sony property and a Microsoft game, as Sea of Thieves introduces new cosmetics inspired by Destiny 2, bringing the battle against the Darkness to the high seas. The Lightbearer cosmetics set includes an array of items such as new flags, ship cosmetics, and a costume set, allowing players to immerse themselves in the Destiny universe while sailing. The trailer for these new items showcases various Destiny references, including the Drifter's outfit and a ghost hanging off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium is brimming with options for players to customize their ships and sailors with these unique Destiny-themed cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made its debut on PlayStation last year, marking one of several Microsoft titles that have transitioned to Sony's console. Destiny, on the other hand, has been available on Xbox and continued its presence there even after Bungie's acquisition by Sony. This crossover might blur the lines between consoles, but it's a delightful blend, with the Drifter's outfit particularly fitting into the world of Sea of Thieves.Season 15 of Sea of Thieves has recently launched, introducing new encounters, voyages, and content to enhance the ongoing piracy experience. Rare's game has not only sustained its popularity but also achieved success on the PlayStation 5, topping an EU sales chart upon its release on the platform.
Meanwhile, Destiny 2 has released Heresy and is navigating its way forward following the significant narrative closure in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has also engaged in recent crossovers, notably with Star Wars.
Both Sea of Thieves and Destiny 2 have successfully navigated the dynamic landscape of live-service game production. It's exciting to see them collaborate in this Sea of Thieves crossover. The Destiny 2-inspired cosmetics are now available in Sea of Thieves, though it's uncertain if Destiny 2 will reciprocate with Sea of Thieves content. In the opinion of this writer, adding a large pirate ship to the space environment of Destiny 2 would be an intriguing addition.
